When his doctor noticed bruises on his neck, Raymond admitted that his stepfather was abusing him. The Administration for Children's Services took Raymond and his sister Monica from their step-dad who’d raised them since their mother's death 13 years ago. Now they’re living with Ophelia, the home health attendant who cared for their mother as she was dying. Ophelia wants to give Raymond and Monica a permanent home. But faced with a decision that could shape his entire future, Raymond isn't sure. He worries that letting Ophelia adopt him would mean cutting ties with his old life and family.

With his smarts and innate curiosity about the world, Kaddeem seems like a kid who should thrive in school, but he's not. Instead he feels unmotivated and rarely does his homework. He scrapes by with a C average, something that frustrates him and his mom. Like a lot of kids, especially young black males in New York City, Kaddeem is not reaching his potential.

But, when Josetta slipped into a depression, she started to listen to rock music that matched her mood. She also began painting her nails black and wearing t-shirts adorned with skulls. Her way of expressing her feelings went against the norms of her family and her community, quickly labeling her as different and even as far as calling her a "sell-out". Depression is an uncomfortable topic for anyone, but amongst an African-American family it can be taboo. Josetta is no longer depressed but she wants to figure out why her family, friends, and community have a difficult time understanding her way of expressing herself and why it's hard to talk about these feelings of sadness in her family and community.

But community manager Claudia L’Amoreaux told me that the Teen Grid is also a place for young people to tackle serious global issues that affect them. “They built this maze as a project on global sex trafficking,” he said. “They were interested in helping other students learn about it so they could protect kids around the world who are being taken advantage of. It’s a way to share what it’s like for kids who are held captive in the sex trade.” The walls of the maze are emblazoned with images and posters giving information on the problem. Being ensnared in the puzzle is meant to mirror the experience of being a child trapped in prostitution.” tag:odeo.com,2006-12-19,4162103 Tue, 19 Dec 2006 23:08:51 -0800 no Global Kids' Digital Media Initiatives Podcast Series http://odeo.com/episodes/4161493-Voice-of-America-Covers-Release-of-Ayiti-The-Cost-of-Life tag:odeo.com,2006-12-19,4161493 Tue, 19 Dec 2006 23:04:50 -0800 no Global Kids' Digital Media Initiatives Podcast Series
